Which kind is it? If It's just your standard narrowband autometer gauge then they are really easy to install. Here is an install guide http://www.autometer.com/download_instruction/1163.pdf

All you need to do it connect the red to power, the black to the ground, and the purple wire to the correct wire on the PCM.

get a wideband... especially on a cobra. all a narrowband is, is a lightshow. if i had a cobra, i would want to know the second something was wrong.

Like the others say, narrowband is useless.
Get a wideband.

You need to have an O2 sensor bung put in the exhaust pipe at either the 9 or 3 O'clock position (so water doesn't collect on the sensor).
Any good exhaust shop can do it for you.

Then you screw the sensor in the hole and hook the guage up to power and the sensor and that's it.
